was born October 15, 1936 in Pleasanton, Iowa to Charles C & Reva Hagan
Cornett. Moved to Columbia when six weeks old. Left in second half of first
grade, moved to Troy, Mo. Third grade moved to Marshall, MO, fourth
& half of fifth moved to Springfield, MO & back to Columbia. Finished
fifth at Grant school then sixth at Ridgeway. On to Jeff Jr, Hickman &

& Harlingen, TX, San Mateo, CA, Yokota Air Base, Japan, Clark Air Base,

What a great experience for the family to visit & live in so many places.
Marriage folded & finally ended in 1982.After
being married to Neil,in May of '84, we moved to Broken Arrow, OK &
lived there for almost ten years, then once again moved back to Mo. We
lived a couple of years in Col. then in 2001 moved to Rocky Mount &
lived on the water. We love the lake but, due to health issues, we are
selling our lake home as I need to be able to get to a hospital without
waiting an hour. Our life is great, I have a wonderful partner, great kids,
grandkids & even greats. We seem to stay busy & looks like our
long years of support, in attendance as well as financial, is beginning
to pay off., Tigers' lookin' good! We have tailgating down to a science.
If you are at a home game, stop by lot C & look us up. Don't forget
to introduce yourself. I can't believe how quickly time flies, the older
you get the faster it goes.
